While the senator for economic affair Romona Pop made a Tweet saying that:

“I am delighted to be able to welcome one of the most renowned companies in the computer and video game industry at the Berlin location.”

In an interview, the studio manager at Ubisoft Berlin, Istvan Tajnay said that this is just an initial step, in the series of much bigger planned expansion steps that are to be taken. He said that the studio aims to become the epicenter for the Tripple-A development that takes place in Germany.

To honest, the brand Ubisoft itself is already an epicenter for the Tripple A titles but for Ubisoft Berlin, it seems like the developers want to take the Berlin studio, to a whole new level.
